WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – Westchester County is considering separate legal action against travel websites that were allegedly underpaying taxes to local governments, according to lohud.com.

A similar class-action suit was filed in 2013 by 50 municipalities across the state but was reversed after a court ruled that a provision in Nassau County's tax law disqualified the suit from class-action status.

The suit would allege that certain booking sites have been paying a discounted rate in taxes after marking up the price of rooms sold to the public, lohud reported.
